    Soft Pretzels
    Skeeter S.

    Hands down the best kept secret in Castle Rock. The Library is my favorite local dinner spot and I hope nothing ever changes. Cozy atmosphere, great food, loving service, and perfect volume level for a sport bar. The menu is adventurous for a sports bar and provides options other than just the regular old "burger and fries." The owner and the manager will recognize you everytime that you come back and it feels like a private club, more than a public restaurant. For the win: Start with the Soft Pretzels with ale cheese dip and ale mustard, next either the Western Burger with a side of coleslaw and fries, or The Reuben. Finally, wash it all down with Crank Yanker IPA or one of the many Mule choices. "Honey, where are you going?" "To the library!"

    Greeted as soon as we walk in. Went here with family party of 6 plus a three year old. Staff were friendly. Service was on point. I ordered the gumbo, which I would rate 3.75 out of 5. It was good, but not good enough to order next time. I also ordered the mahi-mahi sandwich with fries and side ranch. I give the sandwich a 4 out of 5 and would order again when I'm in the mood for something light. Lots of TVs with sports on each one. There is also a small outdoor patio in the front of the restaurant.

    Solid and consistent performing restaurant. There aren't a lot of options in this area. It's a good place to have drinks and appetizers as well as an evening meal. Starting with the appetizers, the Oysters on the half shell were incredibly fresh, and the Soft Pretzels with ale cheese dip and amber ale mustard were the perfect combination of savory and indulgent. I have also had the wings which were good. The burger selection is outstanding, with unique options like The Boss featuring carnitas, andouille sausage, ghost pepper cheese, jalapeños, and chipotle aioli.

    Blackened chicken with bourbon glaze and sweet potato fries

    Dropped in for a quick weekday lunch. Service was immediate, ambiance was calm and had a menu in hand within a couple of minutes. Ordered the blackened chicken with bourbon glaze and sweet potato fries. The meal came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Now the best part, $10.74 plus tip and tax! Say goodbye to mega-corp fast food at these prices and taste some quality food!

    Chicken Parmesan sandwich

    First time here thanks to my aunt's recommendation! This place is set up so cute and definitely has the library vibes. The staff is also so so friendly and the owners are awesome. I love that they're from Guadalajara, where my family is from! For food, I tried the chicken parm sandwich and also got to try their onion rings and banana chocolate swirl cake with raspberry drizzle. The crispi-ness of the onion rings were on point and the dessert was a perfect cherry on top to a great meal :) The sandwiches normally come with a side of fries, but you can choose from sweet potato fries or veggies like I did! The veggies were a perfect fry replacement for me.

    Great, consistent service for a sports bar. Best wings and fries in the Meadows. Great Gin & Tonic from Nicole at the bar. It gets packed on game / event days and nights... even mid-day... So come early if you want a food table / bar seat. Beware: The blue cheese dressing is mixed with a small amt of paprika to quickly identify ranch vs blue cheese in the kitchen. It's not spiced or anything else... Took 3 trips to ask about it

    Good brunch prices and good food. Eggs Benedict and Huevos Rancheros were both tasty. $5 Bloody Mary too wasn't bad.

    Good food, atmosphere, and service - which is why this spot gets fairly busy on week and weekend nights (so get there early).

It has always offered decent service and good food, with your typical brewery atmosphere. I went with some friends yesterday, and I was shocked at how much food was cut back. I think they must have watched the episode of The Bear where the Chef is told to cut the food portions by 15%, but I think they heard 50%. I ordered one pork belly taco off the Taco Tuesday menu. While it was very good, the amount of filling was ridiculous. I would venture to say a teaspoon, maybe 2 at most. They use the street taco-size flour tortillas, and it was still underfilled. It still would have been if I had torn the tortilla in 1/2. I also ordered the prime rib eggrolls, while again good, but they were 1/4 full of filling, and most of that was lettuce and veggies, definitely gaps between the filling and the wrapper. The PR eggrolls were always my go-to because they were so good, and they always had plenty of prime rib in them. No gaps between the filling and the wrapper, as they were yesterday. I did mention it to the waitress, and she really didn't care. Otherwise, she was a fine waitress. I wasn't looking for a handout, but I definitely felt that she should have acknowledged it and said she would pass the info to the manager. I would have preferred the price to be a buck or two more than to pay less and feel like I was ripped off. I will try it again, but if it's the same I would not go back.

Traffic was…read morerobust this day but fortunately we found an open spot on Wilcox St a mere steps away from the front door of Castle Cafe. They were busy with the brunch crowd but we were seated within a few minutes and our server dropped off a basket of warm rolls while we browsed the menu. The interior was very cool, lot of wood and giving off a nice western vibe. I did love all the western art on the walls and a nice bar near the entrance. My wife ordered a Reuben sandwich which she very much enjoyed. Since their Pan-Fried Chicken was named "Famous" I just had to order that. Four delicious pieces of perfectly fried chicken and the mashed potatoes with cracklin' gravy was amazing. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Everyone was so nice and it was a wonderful experience. Side Note - My wife did ask me why I did not order the Chicken and Waffles as it appeared almost every other table had an order. While I love a good waffle, I need to have good cup of coffee with it and seeing how it was almost noon I had left my personal coffee window.

    Went here for bingo a few weeks ago. Fun atmosphere, sat on the patio. Server was nice but they…read moredefinitely have some kinks to work out. First let's talk about their wings: their Cajun wings were BOMB! Cooked perfectly, seasoned heavily like I like it and the flavor was great! I think they may be the best wings I have found in Castle Rock. The pizza was one with prosciutto & pickled onions. So good! The crust is on point. Cooked beautifully. Just trust me on that. The server took our order but never put it in so while our friends ate and drank we got nothing. Once we were able to track down the server, she blamed the kitchen which left a bad taste in my mouth (I'd prefer she just admit she forgot to put in the order) and when my friend's pizza came out 12-15 mins later, it was the wrong pizza altogether. She got pepperoni. So they had to remake it. They still get 4 stars because the food was awesome. I would definitely go there for takeout and plan to soon!

So... we tried to enjoy a friday night there after having a fun time mid week, instead we got told by the owner, who was ABSOLUTELY PLASTERED that we were no longer welcome. We thought maybe we didn't tip properly on that bingo night, instead we were told its because my wife looked at the owner with a mean mug....my wife has never just looked at someone with an improper look with no reason before so this was confusing, we tried go head go The Library next door and instead of being able to talk for the 20 second walk, we got shouted at from their patio. Seems as if they pick and choose their crowd and friends inside the business. Never going back again, your personality is whats supposed to keep the bar alive.
